Biography
Cassander was the eldest son of Antipater, and he was educated by Aristotle alongside Alexander the Great, Hephaestion, Ptolemy, and Lysimachus at the Lyceum in Macedonia. Following Alexander's death in 323 BC, he became one of the diadochi who engaged in the violent "funeral games", having Alexander IV of Macedon, Roxana, and Alexander's illegitimate son Heracles of Macedon executed and restoring Thebes as a snub to the late king. Cassander ruled over Macedonia from 317 to 297 BC, restoring peace and prosperity to the kingdom while founding and restoring cities such as Thebes, Thessalonica, and Cassandreia. He died of dropsy in 297 BC, and his kingdom was conquered by the Antigonids not long after.
